Tech industry spawns confusion with its interchangeable language
As I write this I have just finished a telephone support call made all the more difficult by a failure to communicate. I really want to blame this problem on an Englishman by the name of Peter Mark Roget, but in truth he did not create the problem in 1805; he just documented it and quantified it. The real problem is that the English language has so many synonyms and there is no consistency or agreement amongst technical people as to how they should be used.
